Just picked up a TMA Turbo... For those of you who want to follow me on my turbo journey... Special thanks to Tony (00StangV6Coupe) over at v6power for the easy transition after a 10 hour drive.

Hey Bill,

What is your grandson trying to do? You can pick up a preety nice 87-93 5.0 for like 4K. This kit was 3200$ used. I have about 6-7K into the engine.. Should handle around 550-600 safely..

If you run a stock block on 99-04 3.8 you can push around 370-390 RWHP around 8-10 PSI with no problems... wouldnt do more then that.

In terms of the install, this turbo will be much easier for me as I already have the Vortech stuff installed... I dont have to tap the oil pan, or move the AC or deal with anything like that this time around (except the ABS).

Will keep you updated.
